Delightful Raspberry Swirl Cookies featuring a buttery dough layered with vibrant raspberry jam and finished with a drizzle of melted white chocolate. These cookies combine a tender texture with a sweet and tangy swirl, perfect for afternoon tea or a special dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Filling and Topping

  • ½ cup raspberry jam
  • ¼ cup melted white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy. This aerates the dough to create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Vanilla and Flour: Stir in the vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
  4. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about ¼-inch thickness, creating a large rectangular shape suitable for spreading the jam evenly.
  5. Spread Raspberry Jam: Evenly spread the raspberry jam over the entire surface of the rolled dough, ensuring a consistent layer for that signature swirl.
  6. Roll into a Log and Chill: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, starting from one edge. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up for easier slicing.
  7. Slice and Bake: After chilling, slice the log into rounds approximately ¼-inch thick. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow for slight spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool and Drizzle White Chocolate: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cookies to add a smooth, rich finish and enhance their visual appeal.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
  • Use good quality raspberry jam for a fresh, fruity flavor.
  • Chilling the rolled log makes slicing easier and helps maintain shape during baking.
  • Allow cookies to cool fully before drizzling the white chocolate to prevent melting.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
